GALAN-SUAREZ, Ricardo; RIVEROS-RUEDA, María L. y GAITAN-VARGAS, Daniel. Flower plate for arthrodesis schapoid-trapezium-trapezoid as surgical treatment for schapoid distal pole non union: case report. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2017, vol.43, n.1, pp.53-58. ISSN 1989-2055.
Posttraumatic osteonecrosis of the distal pole of the scaphoid bone is a rare complication; up to this point we could only find 3 reported cases in world literature. We present a rare case of scaphoid distal pole osteonecrosis that after a year presented avascular necrosis of the involved segment, and the performed treatment with scaphoid-trapezium-trapezoid arthrodesis with flower plate. After 6 months evolution there is a clear improvement of pain and movement, with complete recovery of range mobility of wrist and thumb. We got very good results regarding pain resolution and improvement in hand function. We could not find any other case reported that has used the same aprproach.
